The mechanism in the cap makes sure that shutting the cap still will reveal that the seal have been broken.

It is possible to add dots in the material for peoples that are visually impaired.

Solution B: This solution needs less material to be created. It has an arrow at the bottom. The arrow will move while opening the cap and point at a spot that indicates that it has been opened. It is not possible to move the arrow back without breaking it.
